    What do you use to shave?

    I use an Edwin Jagger safety razor with Derby blades. Does a great shave, and I find the safety razor the least irritant to my skin (and I get less spots/pimples!). Not a fan of multi-razors, and I do have an electric shaver that's very good in a pinch, but I soon regret it! Other than that I...

    What are you wearing today??

    Here's what I wore today (apologies for poor phone camera): Working from home this morning, so in a cravat and knitted waistcoat. Then went shopping with my wife later, so put on a tie and jumper!

    What are you wearing today??

    You look great Dinerman. Lovely smart-but-casual look (and I don't mean smart-casual!) I particularly like you cap. Has the brim been broken to give that shape or is it in the style of the cap?

    Yes indeed, a lovely set there! Pretty much a colour for every outfit!

    BOTH SIDES OF THE TWEED! - Show us your tweed suits, sport coats and pants

    Nice to know it's a locally made one! I've got a sports jacket in a very similar tweed to that actually, but it's one of those semi-riding coat type of things. A hacking jacket I suppose. Smashing suit though! Yes you're right about the style of 1950s jackets. Plus, 1930s/1940s ones are harder...

    Also turns out that striped scarf is my university colours! http://onlinestore.ntu.ac.uk/browse/extra_info.asp?compid=1&modid=1&deptid=25&catid=75&prodvarid=24

    The more I've studied this tie, the more I think it's definitely a Tootal. Since the recent acquisition of that old black 'Standard', and also looking at my oldest scarf, the cloth matches them. Also, it completely matches the construction of the black one, down to length, the reinforced...

    Thanks TT! I've been VERY lucky really, and got some bargains. The racing tie - I about fainted when I saw it! It wasn't cheap, but I snapped it off the stand in the vintage shop quicker than anything! I'm proud of that striped scarf too. It really does look like a club or university scarf or...

    Sorry, forgot to reply! Hopefully should be free to come to one of those. PM me if you've got anything in particular you think I might like though! :)

    Thanks Esteban! They are great caps to see. I think the higher fastening had to do with the 'ghillie' collar originally being fastened right at the top, which then morphed into the lounge suit. It looks okay Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

    Ah yes of course sorry Keith! Well it doesn't have to be a comb it could be a sewing kit or cigarettes or an emergency £ (or $) note. Anything! Just a secure little pocket for whatever. It's been an idea that's intrigued me that's all! Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

    The Cap Faction

    How is this coming along? I've got that same cap as yourself, and had to do a bit of stitching to put some shape into it. I found it a little shapeless around the sides of my head. Also, as you seem to be going after, I think the brim is a little too short for the size of the cap really. I'd be...

    Nice idea! And brilliantly executed! That cap is spot-on too. Great balance and shape. I've always wondered if there's a use for the space above the peak in a flat cap. Like a little internal slot for a miniature comb or something. After all, I reckon I get my worst hat hair when I'm wearing a...

    BOTH SIDES OF THE TWEED! - Show us your tweed suits, sport coats and pants

    Another great one. I have a similar one in a green nail-head Harris Tweed, the same cut, vent and all. I really like those late 1950's, early 1960's tweed jackets. They really capture the era.

    That's absolutely lovely - I'm very jealous! Love the cloth and the cut! Well done my friend. It suits you really well too!
